I am deeply sorry to hear that Mary passed away. As the former volunteer coordinator at UF Performing Arts, I had the distinct pleasure of working with and getting to know Mary over the course of time. Generous, patient, and wise, her steady presence and skillful ease in serving others who shared her love for the arts and community contributed hugely to the success of every event for which she volunteered, and there were many! We were lucky to be counted amongst her friends. Truly, she will be sorely missed.
